dismissal
Let an agent explain dismissal, relay types, procedures and legal protections from employment law sources in general terms, describe the named forms, point people to unions, labour authorities and lawyers, and distinguish dismissal from resignation, layoff as temporary, constructive dismissal, retirement and impeachment.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
